For my study I need to use Adobe Premiere Elements. A few days ago I decided to download it through the Adobe installer. All worked well, the setup started successful as well. But when it reaches the 'shared technologies' part, it displays an error. The error does not state the shared technologies is the problem, but as I have tried six times by now and it always crashes at that point, I am pretty sure this is the problem.

As I said, I have tried installing it several times by now, turned the computer off and on several times, changed the OOBE folder, tried to install Pr. Ele. on a guest account on my computer.

I have read the forum thoroughly but unfortunately to no use. I really, really hope someone can help because I do need to use this program and I cannot think of something I did wrong with downloading/ installing.

Thank you for the follow-up, and sorry that the installation is still causing problems.

Maybe a step back would be worth a look. This article is a general "checklist" for installing most Adobe software. Please take a look at it, to see if you have perhaps missed something along the way: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3419692#3419692

There can be several factors, that can cause an installation to fail, such as having anti-virus, anti-malware, etc., running, during the installation. This is exacerbated with the newer active, real-time-scanning anti-virus/malware programs. They should be turned OFF, for the installation.
